You don't see this everyday...




I caught this guy creeping around Downtown Miami and I just had to pull out the digital camera.

You don't see people rocking the old Jordan Chicago Bulls #45 Champion jersey everyday...

Peep the Jordan jersey on under the Hurricanes jersey.

Photobucket

And yes... he is rocking it BACKWARDS underneath a football jersey.

His outfit looks like a fuckin'scoreboard.


"Okay Folks, the score at the half, Miami 35, Chicago 45".

Photobucket

Not to mention the Randy Moss Super Freaks on his feet and the throw back Eagles Starter cap.

Oh and I almost forgot...

He had a fuckin' Rim on his chain.

Photobucket

If that's not funny, I don't know what is.

Peep this video of Mike at the Great Wall of China from ESPN the Magazine.



"Becareful Michael! Becareful!"

I had to add this video of this Chinese dude talking mad shit about Mike.

Dribbling the ball thru his legs like Hot Sauce...

I call him "Duck Sauce"



"I can beat Jordan, Fuck that Jordan!"

Ebay...

The worlds biggest yard sale.

I can spend hours roaming Ebay just lookin for a piece of Michael Jordan history that I have never seen before.

I decided to start saving some of the pictures of the items I come across and share it with you guys.

I'm not trying to promote anyone's auctions or help people sell there shit, I'm just sharing pictures.

For this post I decided to keep it Mike's rookie year with Nike.

Photobucket

Let's hop in the Delorean and hit 88 MPH straight back to 1985.

Photobucket

I had to get it started with the Original Air Jordan I's.

Photobucket

Any given day you can find a slew of Original Air Jordan I's in a wide range of prices and conditions.

Photobucket

From Dead stock pairs with the box, extra laces, hang tags and original recipts to pairs that look like Forrest Gump used them to run across the country 20 years ago.

Photobucket

I personally love to see pictures of old grimey ass AJ I's that look they have a few good stories to tell.

If you look hard enough you can usually find a decent amount of Original Nike Air Jordan apparel on Ebay.

Photobucket

I love all the original Air Jordan Nike set's.

Photobucket

Another dope thing always available on Ebay is old vintage posters.

This one was a must have for every young Jordan head.

There are many jerseys, many cards and lots of balls but this is the only collection of video footage documenting MJ’s and his mother’s hard work supporting as many as 25 charities through the Michael Jordan Foundation. This footage will be a MUST in ANY true documentary of the greatest basketball player in history. No other video cameras were present when this footage was acquired.

Photobucket

Full interviews with Michael, his father, his mother and siblings

Interviews with dozens of celebrities who worked with MJ and the foundation including Tom Brokaw, Magic Johnson, James Earl Jones, Sinbad, Tom Selleck, Michael Bolton, MC Hammer, Evander Holyfield, George Wendt, Fred Savage, Otis Wilson, Emma Samms, Rob Schneider, Chris Chelios, Mark Harmon, and many, many more.

"Be Like Mike" The Jay Johnson Story



A few weeks back I did a post about the history of Gatorade's "Be Like Mike" campaign...

Photobucket

After doing a little research I found all kinds of information about the history of the "Be Like Mike" song and commercial that I never knew about before.



The "Be Like Mike" History has a rather interesting story behind it all.

Here's the link to the post I did a few weeks back about the history of the "Be Like Mike" campaign with Michael Jordan and Gatorade:

http://likemikeclothing.blogspot.com/2007/11/be-like-mike.html

Sole Collector Magazine recently interview Jay Johnson, the artist that performed the original "Be Like Mike" song for the first commerical Gatorade created for Michael Jordan back in 1991.

Photobucket

A great read for anyone that really Like's Mike.

Photobucket

Pick up this month issue of Sole Collector to read the full story.

Black AJ V Fusions



Pictures of the Black AJ V Fusions popped up on the internet the other day.

Photobucket

I gotta addmit I am a big fan of the AJ V Fusions.

I'm in love with the White version.

It is a nice twist on a classic Air Jordan.

But the Black version is just something new.

Taking a classic and just giving it a different attitude.

Photobucket

The Red Mid-soles and the touch of Patent Leather on the back is dope.

Looks like they will be available on 4/19/08.

Photobucket

2008 is gonna leave alota Jordan Heads Broke!

Thank Air Randy for the pictures.

X + XIII Count Down Package Breakdown



January 18th the first countdown package drops...

Photobucket

Shadow X's and White and black XIII's

Photobucket
Photobucket

It's gonna set you back $310 plus tax, but thats a steal compared to the price it's gonna be once the packages sell out.

I personally think it's worth every penny.

$155 a piece for the Shadows X's and the wht/blk XIII's is very affordable compared to trying to find OG pairs.

Photobucket

OG Shadows are dope, and not that expensive compared to most other OG X's.

Photobucket

But you can't really enjoy wearing them, because you know one wrong move and good-bye!

That mid-sole will separate in a heart beat.

Photobucket

Minus the addition of the 23 they look pretty true to the original...

( Mike's Shadow's had the 45 on the side )

Photobucket

I'm sure that they won't be as nice as the originals but still a very nice retro.


Photobucket

So a wearable pair of shadow X's for about $155...

that's a deal for any Jordan head.

Photobucket

Mike had a very short career in the Shadow X's, only a hand full of games in them, but in my opinion the Retro Shadow X's are still a must have for every Jordan collector.

Photobucket

The XIII's are dope...

And the White and Black version is classic.

Often refered to as the "He Got Game's"

Photobucket

Denzel copped the XIII's on his furlow when he was trying to convince Jesus to attend Big State...

But that's a whole other post.

I'll get to that a little bit later.

Photobucket

Not my favorite pair of XIII's, but it's a classic.

Photobucket

Personally I would have liked to see the Black and White Playoff XIII's in the package...

Photobucket

But i'm very happy to see the White and Black XIII's finally being re-released over 10 years later.

Photobucket

OG pairs of the XIII's are not that hard to come by, but finding a pair with clear holograms in deadstock condition is tuff and expensive.

Photobucket

The Last Dance.

That was the name of the Bulls 97-98, 6th Championship Dynasty season.

And this may be your Last Chance to own a pair of Mike's dancing shoes for only $155 Bucks.

Bottom line.

Start saving up that $310 right now, because this one package you don't wanna miss.

Thank Marqueesole for the pictures.
